#40667: Macports taking over file permissions on Time Machine files

-----------------------+--------------------------------
 Trying to access files from my old Time Machine backups, I noticed I don't
 have permissions to open many of the folders (e.g. Users, System, etc)

 Here is a dir listing (below), and anything owned by macports:staff is
 neither accessible by sudo user nor can be changed by chown or chmod
 commands...

 Any idea how to modify permissions so I can get access? Thanks!
